Wow... this has to be the hardest cover I've done. Who would have thought it would be a Paramore song. I worked really hard on this and am not completely happy, but frankly I got tired of practicing it hahaha. This is the best I could do at my current level of drumming. ilan Rubin is a beast...


Thanks for watching. I've been drumming since May 2010 so I'm still learning. I wish I would have started earlier, but I am working hard trying to make up for lost time. I have truly found my passion and love doing this. I also love talking drums and mixing. I you have any advice or any questions please feel free to send a message and I will respond.

Original Drummer Bio:

Rubin grew up in Bonita, CA, a suburb of San Diego adjacent to Chula Vista, CA. He began playing drums at the age of 8, when he discovered his father's 1968 Silver Sparkle Ludwig drum kit set up in the garage. After three months of "toying" with the kit, he had taught himself to play and was jamming with his older brothers and by the age of 9 was ready to play for F.o.N., a band that eventually would do three stints on the Vans Warped Tour, where, in addition to playing with F.o.N. Ilan would fill-in on drums with bands such as NOFX. In 1999, F.o.N. opened Woodstock on the "Emerging Artist Stage" and, as a result, 11-year-old Ilan gained entry into the Guinness Book of World Records as the youngest musician to ever play on a Woodstock stage.[2]

Still at the age of 11, he submitted a video to Modern Drummer Magazine, taken of him doing a solo during an F.o.N. performance, which was picked by the magazine as the winning entry in its "Best Undiscovered Drummer Under the Age of 18" contest. The winner of the 18-and-over category came from Argentina, and both drummers were invited to perform at the 2000 Modern Drummer Festival, by which time Ilan had turned 12. He has taken lessons from Blink-182's drummer Travis Barker and David Uosikkinen, drummer of famed 1980s band, The Hooters. He is also an accomplished guitarist and classical pianist.
